Just do what I do with my PC. If you don't know what it is, delete it.

What an easy way to get hacked.

You had your firewall off.

Some one got into your system and made a use account.

Now he just logs in whenever he wants

Just kidding i dunno lol just delete it :/

Delete it if its bothering you, thats the .net framework account that always gets generated when you install it, windows wont login to your account automatically but ask you which one you want to log on, even if you only have 1.

That's a pretty bad SOP.

If you don't know what it is, find out what it is to know whether it falls under:

a) Not Harmful; Needed
b) Not Harmful; Optional
c) Harmful

Difference is, I can tell what should and shouldn't be deleted.
